Jonas Speer By

2×2 · top 9.2% of 189,179 all-time · competing since March 2016 · 2016BYJO01

Jonas Speer By has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.52, set at Lier Open 2018, puts him in the top 9.2% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 139th in Norway. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since March 2016, he has put 306 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 88% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 16.10 in March 2016 to 2.52, an 84% improvement. Jonas has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 2×2. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

The story so far

Competitions

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
